Ingredients

• 150g smoked salmon fillets
• 1 egg
• 30g bread crumbs
• 1 clove garlic
• 20g capers
• 20g fresh dill
• 2 stalks spring onions- chopped
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Salt & pepper

DIPPING SAUCE

• 100ml creme fraiche
• Lemon juice- to taste
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions

1. Combine all of the ingredients for the salmon cakes in the Vitamix blender. Lightly whizz on the lowest setting until roughly combined. Using a tablespoon, form 6 small patties- having clean, damp hands will help!
2. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly golden.
3. Whisk the ingredients for the dipping sauce together and transfer them to a small dipping bowl. Serve alongside the crisped salmon cakes and a slice of lemon. Scatter over with more dill and pan-fried capers.
